This season is considered to be an extended season in order to align the league's calendar with the FIVB calendar,[1] which was later clarified by the league in January 2026. This meant that the season formally culminated with the 2025 PVL Press Corps Awards Night on May 28, 2025.[3] It would also be the first season to span two calendar years.
The season saw the Creamline Cool Smashers become the first team to win all three conferences in a calendar year in what multiple publications consider to be the first Grand Slam in league history, despite featuring four conferences.
2024 All-Filipino Conference
The 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference was the first conference of the 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League season.[4] This conference was supposed to begin on February 17, 2024, but was later moved to February 20, 2024.[4]
A total of twelve teams competed in this tournament; two new club teams were announced before the start of the conference.[5][6] Meanwhile, the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers and Quezon City Gerflor Defenders withdrew from the PVL.[7][8] Strong Group Athletics took over the Gerflor Defenders franchise.[9] Capital1 Solar Spikers was unveiled as the 12th team and replaced the Cargo Movers.[10]

2024 Invitational Conference
The 2024 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference was the third conference of the 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League season. Unlike the previous iterations of the league, this conference was a short pocket tournament, lasting about nine days, making it the shortest conference in the league. The conference started on September 4, 2024, coinciding with the finals of the 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference.
Originally, the semifinalists of the 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference are qualified and will be able to play alongside two foreign guest teams — the reigning Invitational champions, Kurashiki Ablaze of Japan, and the newcomers, Est Cola of Thailand. But due to players' injuries, the PLDT High Speed Hitters and the Akari Chargers begged off from participation. The Farm Fresh Foxies will be the sole replacement as the other PVL teams declined to join.
